This former Chicago boy, presently residing directly across the lake from the Windy City -- and if the wind is blowing in the right direction, occasionally able to catch a whiff of Mr. Beef or Uno's -- is interested to learn how it is that this thread has over a million views.

Sorry to hi jack this thread but going to Chicago tomorrow and was curious about a couple things.

1st are there any really great toy stores?

2nd does it make more sense to leave our car at the hotel and just get taxis to go to museums and what not or drive myself?

Thanks

You might also want to try Rad Vintage in Andersonville here is their site: http://www.radvintage.com/ all accessible by the CTA from downtown, either by train or bus. While they don't have a hugely massive selection of toys, they have more MOTU vintage than Quake does, at least they did the last time I went in

Also I'll update the KA POW collectibles address, as Goluphi put Quake's address in twice: 711 W. Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL. 60657. This is about a 5 minute walk from the Belmont Red Lin 'El' stop. I haven't actually been to this place, so thanks Goluphi for the heads up!

If you're downtown at a hotel, I'd leave the car there and get a day pass for the CTA. The museums down in the loop, or on Lake Shore Drive are either within walking distance, or a short bus ride.

Enjoy your stay!!

What Goluphi said It's a cool comic store, but full of what you'd expect in a comic store.

If you're close to Graham Crackers, you'll be close to the EL train, so the city is your oyster really. Head up to Clark and Belmont, go hit up The Alley, Ka POW, go grab some Kumas if you like gourmet burgers with names of metal bands, and then head up to Lincoln Square and Andersonville to check out some other toy stores
